This is true, but think what would happen if we focused our attentions on gun/violent crimes over drugs. Instead of handing out 5 and 10 year sentences to people caught with drugs, how about handing those same sentences out to people whom are found with a unlicensed/unregistered gun, or in the hands of someone with a past criminal record.
(assuming the US govt made all guns owners be licence & all guns be registered)
Eventually the amount of guns in the wrong hands would start to then out..
